  • Does anyone have a robot hoover?

    Me and my wife just cannot he bothered to hoover all the time. So I’m considering a robot hoover for daily cleaner then a weekly hoover with the standard hoover.

  • We had an iRobot when we lived in Asia. We had a very modern style apartment - marble/stone floors, no crap lying around - and it worked well. If you’ve got rugs with tassels or leave charging cables lying around they can often get stuck.

  • I had a Roomba when we lived in a flat. It's not used much now due to the stairs (and child leaving stuff everywhere).

    It was really good! It doesn't hoover as well as you would - probably about 60% as good a job, but it does it every day which makes a difference quite quickly. It also encourages you to tidy up a bit, as stuff on the floor obstructs it. It used to really destroy any charging cables it found.

    As @nankatsu says, I'd get one of the ones that you can program a schedule into.

  • I've had one for 10 years or so (iRobot one). They're good but now that there are easy wireless options like a Dyson it gets very little use. The vacuuming is fine but having to make sure the floor is clear beforehand is a hassle. It shoves light stuff like side tables around and cables, shoelaces, etc all get sucked up.

    Good if your floor is really clear but otherwise not much easier than a quick blast round with the hoover.

  • Just in case you have a dog, take this as a caution
